I know I was obedient to God when I applied to Taylor. I know that God directed my steps and sent encouragement. But, circumstances now dictate that I reevaluate what the Lord's desire is for me. Taylor's Fort Wayne campus is ending all traditional, undergraduate programs. They are transferring all undergraduate classes to the Upland campus.
This news sent many freshmen girls into crying fits. I understand their heartache. It is hard to handle a shaking of this magnitude. It may feel like their dreams are being put on hold or even dying all together. Although I shared their heartache, I still have peace.
I am surprised that I have peace during a very difficult time. I recently had a pay cut. I lost 24 hours of pay. This did not even phase me. I am not unaware of the financial crisis in America. I realize that I will be facing difficulties in the present and the future. I have known for a long time that God wants our full attention. He is willing to send difficulty to wake us up.
I have been asking God what my prayer life should look like. Working and being a part-time student slowed my diligent prayer life. I basically left IHOP all together. Now that school and work have been minimized in my life I have no doubt that the prayer room is my next destination. Please pray for me as I seek God's plan.

That's sad. I spent a summer at TUFW. I've never been to the upland campus, actually.
I'm glad, however, that you have peace and hope that the other students will as well.
God's plans for you will be fulfilled. Enjoy the peace He has given you in the midst of it all. That is one of the coolest parts of being a Christian.
just come down this way and finish up in Upland!!! :o)
